We’re the Huws Gray Group and we’re made up of a number of brands, including Huws Gray, Hirebase, Civils & Lintels, The Timber Group, PDM, NDI and Anglia Tool Centre. Our Partnering Stores exclusively serve one customer, and we have a mix of stock in all of our partnering sites to support them with projects in their areas.

As an apprentice, you will get a permanent contract from day one, 31 days holiday, a qualification in Level 2 Trade Supplier, and a great start to your career!

A Builders Merchant sells building and construction materials to a range of customers from long-standing builders to DIYers.

Our branches are long-established companies that have been serving local tradespeople for many years with reliable stock levels and the highest standards in service.

You’ll be working with people who love what they do and care for each other. Our branch teams are a bit like a family, there’s plenty of fun and you’ll be a key member of the branch.

• Be committed to learn.
• Be a brilliant communicator.
• Have a “can-do” attitude.
• Be open to getting stuck in and helping wherever needed.

What’s in it for you?
